ROP SCREENING & TREATMENT

At Nurture Hospital, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for premature infants, including specialized screening and treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). ROP is a serious eye condition that can affect premature infants, and early detection and treatment are crucial for preventing vision loss. Our experienced team of neonatologists and ophthalmologists works collaboratively to ensure the best outcomes for our youngest patients.

What is Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)?

Retinopathy of Prematurity is a condition that occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This condition primarily affects premature infants with low birth weight, and if left untreated, it can lead to retinal detachment and blindness.

Comprehensive ROP Screening

• Early Detection: Screening for ROP is essential for premature infants, especially those born before 31 weeks of gestation or weighing less than 1500 grams. Early detection allows for timely intervention and treatment.

• Expert Screening: Our team of skilled ophthalmologists conducts thorough and precise ROP screenings using advanced diagnostic equipment to detect any signs of abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina.

• Regular Monitoring: Infants at risk of ROP undergo regular eye examinations to monitor the development of the retina and catch any changes early.

We utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment to provide accurate screenings and effective treatments for ROP. From initial screening to advanced treatment and follow-up care, we offer a complete range of services to address the needs of infants at risk for or diagnosed with ROP.
